id="MargosaOil.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Margosa or neem oil is a yellow oil with a disagreeable smell and bitter taste that has been used as a medical remedy in India and Southeast Asia for several centuries. In recent years, there have been rare reports of acute onset of severe metabolic acidosis, hepatic and multiorgan failure and death following ingestion of margosa oil.</p></div><div id="MargosaOil.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Margosa oil is an extract of the seeds of Azadirachta indica, commonly known as the neem tree native to India and Sri Lanka. In low doses, margosa oil has been a traditional remedy for centuries in India and Southeast Asia used in treating asthma, intestinal parasites, arthritis and leprosy. It is also an insecticide. The oil has a disagreeable smell and bitter taste attributable to volatile sulphur compounds and fatty acids. Free fatty acids account for 20% of its weight and bitters (nimbin, nimbinin, nimbidin and nibidol) for about 2%. The bitters are secondary products formed during storage of the oil or the seeds and concentrations can vary in different commercial samples.</p></div><div id="MargosaOil.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Several case reports have suggested that margosa oil can cause severe metabolic acidosis and death, particularly in young children. Symptoms of nausea, vomiting and progressive stupor develop within hours of consumption, followed by severe metabolic acidosis, coma, and progressive hepatic dysfunction, similar to Reye syndrome. Serum aminotransferase levels are generally normal or minimally elevated initially, but then rise to high levels accompanied by increases in LDH and CPK levels. Progressive hepatic encephalopathy and cerebral edema develop within days. Unexplained is why neem oil has been safely used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Outbreaks of this toxic syndrome have been described in India and South East Asia, suggesting that the toxicity may have been due to contamination of the ordinarily tolerated oil by seeds of plants that resemble Azadirachta indica. DNA from Azadirachta indica has been found as a contaminant in commercial herbal supplements in at least one toxicological screening report.</p><p>Likelihood score: C (known cytotoxic agent and probable rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="MargosaOil.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism of hepatotoxicity of margosa oil appears to be related to mitochondrial dysfunction and poisoning of the electron transport pathway by a component of margosa oil or a contaminant. A similar syndrome has been induced in laboratory animals with samples of the implicated oil.</p></div><div id="MargosaOil.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Hepatotoxicity attributed margosa oil has been reported from India and Malaysia. The clinical syndrome is similar to Reye syndrome and should be managed accordingly with electrolyte, nutritional, ventilatory and hepatic support.</p><p>Other Names: Neem oil</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/HerbalDietarySuppl/?report=reader">Herbal and Dietary Supplements</a></p></div></div><div id="MargosaOil.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_MargosaOil_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
